Hi Everyone.
I was racing yesterday, (07-07-18), at the Mount Panorama Gr3 Manufactures FIA Championship with Ferrari and I did a pretty acceptable qualy in 8th position only less than a second from the 1st.
During the second lap, on the straight before the last chicane I had a BMW on my back, (half a second from me), so before the slight right turn, (before the final chicane), I move to the left to keep the inside line and leave space for the BMW that had more speed than me... I try to brake as late as I was able to, (between 150m and 100m), keeping the inside line, but the BMW come in to my back like a rocket and project me into the really long and wide gravel... the BMW was able to do the chicane using me as brakes...
I know that happened a lot and they get penalties, but the thing that GT Sport should look at is that to get out of that gravel it took me more than 18 second, and for like 2 second I didn't get disqualified!!! Because I was in the gravel for too long!!!
I lost 10 positions, (18th), but I was able to finish 12th.
But the BMW finished 8th with no penalties... and with a B Sportsmanship Rating!!!
 
He had a red dot at the end of the race? Means he has spent his penalty/ies he had and finished 8th. Welcome to GT sport racing.
 
the system sort of works... Im DR-S SR-S, I drive clean, and if someone is faster than me I leave space to pass me.
In my opinion they should introduce black flag after a number of penalties in one race, so people will think more before crashing into you.
My post was more about ending up in the gravel, because of him/her, and almost get disqualified... wile him/her got a penalty.
